Former Milan and Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko was elected the new president of the Ukrainian Association of Football unanimously on Thursday, reported from the Washington Post.

Shevchenko won 93 of 94 votes at its congress, the UAF said. It added Shevchenko was entitled to cast the 94th vote as a delegate but did not do so.

He is Ukraine’s all-time top scorer, with 48 goals in 111 games from 1995 to 2012. He won the Champions League with Milan in 2003 and the Ballon d’Or the following year.
